I highly recommend She Codes to all the women that are curious about coding and the tech industry in general! It was a very fun and fulfilling weekend, where I enjoyed the insights given by Matt about front-end development and basic (good!) coding practices, product design and product management - and also how to understand and talk to developers!
My experience with She Codes was amazing! I was able to learn a lot about the basics of coding, and only in two very full days! It was intense, but the challenge was incredible! As a marketing analyst, very interested in site performance and analytics, it gave me the chance to better understand the coder's perspective! Matt is a great teacher, and very funny! I totally recommend this course to any woman who wants to became a developer!
My name is Maria Carolina and I am a master's student in management. I joined She Codes, first in the online session and was soon captivated. I joined the next live event and the experience was gratifying. I had no experience with programming languages and I feel that I learned the basics in a fun and didactic way. In the end I did a project about one of my passions where I put everything I learned into action, proving to myself that it is possible to learn the basics in one weekend. I think it's a great opportunity for all women who have an interest in this area.Matt is a great and fun teacher, I would really recommend it!
She Codes offers two fun and full days of coding introduction. It's definitely a nice way to understand how to start diving into this world. If you know nothing about coding, go for it!
It was an amazing weekend, totally worth it. Made all the difference to me in this learning journey, where at the end everything connected. It was so much fun! Besides coding, I had the opportunity of meeting amazing women from all background! Thank you Matt! :)
We have the opportunity to learn a lot in just 2 days! In workshop we also had moments of hard work along with fun time breaks. At the end this experience makes us feel really proud of building a web page from scratch and I would definitely recommend this course!
I really enjoyed learning to code in the fast-paced but fun environment of SheCodes. Coding skills are valuable in a wide variety of positions and anyone could benefit from a course like this. I look forward to putting my skills to use!
she codes was so inspiring, the weekend gave me confidence of a lifetime, that i actually do it. I gained so much knowledge in such a little time,it was quite intense but Matt made the learning easy and fun.
It was a really interesting, hands-on intensive workshop. Not only do you learn in theory but you test everything that you learn. On top of that it is a fun experience! Keep coding :)
I didn't know that Web Development could be so much fun, but She Codes made for me a very exciting introduction to it.
SheCodes allowed me to learn the basics of front-end while making it fun! I feel more confident to use coding in my job and more motivated to keep learning on my own!
Truth be told, I didn't think I'd like coding as much as I did! This weekend-workshop is a great way for beginners to open the door to the world of coding. This course has taught me the basics of front end development in such a fun way, I'm keen to learn a lot more!
She Codes helped me to discover and understand a little bit the coding world, but most of all showed me how to fun and interesting it could be! :) I truly recommend She Codes workshop for everyone, not only for the ones that want to be coders.
She Codes gave me the push I really needed to learn something I have always admired. Now all I want is to learn more, to find out more, to try more. The workshop is fast paced, super fun and if you don't end the two days exhausted but super thrilled, well, maybe coding isn't for you. She Codes is like opening the closet door that leads to Narnia. :)
" I definitely can do this!" I'm so glad that She Codes came here and showed us that coding can be fun too. It was an amazing weekend !! Now I know for sure what I want to do.
Such a great experience! All women that want to discover more about coding should definitely do the She Codes workshop! It is the best way to take the first step into this incredible world of coding. I ensure anyone will learn a lot and have lots of fun! Matt is the best teacher and his team is amazing!
It was really fun to learn a whole new languages, and a whole unknown path. Can´t wait to learn more.
I highly recommend She Codes! I think that She Codes is a great opportunity to finally learn coding and take a first step into the world of tech. The workshop was very demanding, but still so educational, inspiring and extremely dynamic and practical with an incredible teacher that helped us through every step of the way during all weekend. I never thought I would have so much fun coding! I can't wait to continue the work I began in She Codes!
A remarkable experience and a remarkable movement. SheCodes is empowering women to open their horizons, to step out of their comfort zone and find their place in this industry. The two-day course was condensed but the right pace to teach us all the fundamentals and also make us eager to learn more and keep on coding! A warm thank you to the wonderful shecodes team!
When we start by learning alone, we always end up discouraging, and here is when She Codes has more value. I realized that it would be a plus have the opportunity to learn to program with Matt, someone experienced, who directs us and make everything much easier and faster. In addition to being a lot of fun we received the first bases for a great career in this art.
It was the first time where I interacted with code and I totally loved it! It was a very intensive weekend, a lot of shared knowledge, experience and also a lot of fun! Matt is a great teacher, he makes it sound almost easy to learn. I highly recommend She Codes to anyone who feels curious about coding and needs a little push to start.
For sure, She Codes was the most intuitive and straightforward code-themed lessons I've ever had. Despite I've had web design and some other code learning environments back in school, I've never had such a fast and fun way of learning how to code. I can say, truly, that becoming someone between a front-end developer and a screen designer, crossed my mind during these two days at UPTEC. And I must say that creating something specifically for women, especially about something we have pushed away since always, it's an amazing initiative! Keep up the good work!
SheCodes was an amazing experience, I've learned so much in two days, it's incredible. It's even more surprising because I went in thinking coding was an impossible task for me, but after the workshop I'm ready to admit I was wrong! 👩💻 Coding is fun, exciting, challenging and for anyone who loves learning new skills. Give it a try, you might end up loving it 💜
I'm really happy I chose to spend my weekend with She Codes. It was an intensive workshop for sure, but at the end of it, coding seemed so much fun and approachable. I enjoyed the logic behind it and the unlimited ways of playing around it.
It was the first time where I interacted with code and I totally loved it! It was a very intensive weekend, a lot of shared knowledge, experience and also a lot of fun! I am really glad that I decided to spend my time learning the bases of coding with She Codes. For me coding is like playing a game, you just need to see the logic on it and just keep trying until you win! I truly believe that all woman should have contact with technology and most likely with coding. Thank you SheCodes for this experience. 👩💻🚀
I took this workshop not knowing a thing about coding and it turned out to be fun and more exciting than I imagine. Matt is a great teacher, he makes it sound almost easy to learn. I highly recommend She Codes to anyone who feels curious about coding and needs a little push to start.
SheCodes was amazing! It was the perfect introduction to coding, with a very welcoming and patient teacher. I felt like I really gained a good understanding of some coding basics - and it was really fun! The format of the course is great. I definitely learned so much in just one weekend.
She Codes is a wonderful tool for women who are looking into changing industries. It provides the appropriate insight and allows you to actually understand what you would have to do to make it happen. Also a very fun weekend with the possibility of meeting fantastic people.
SheCodes opened a new world to me ! It was intense but also a lot of fun. I found the explanations very clear (with a touch of humor!), there was a good balance between theory and exercises, the team very nice and always happy to help. In a few words : Great, inspiring and challenging experience ! Highly recommended !
I entered the course as a "blank page" in coding and exited with the skills to create working webpages. But even more important - besides the skills I could hear the experiences of working in this industry from a person who is doing it on a daily basis. It was a very motivating and fun experience and I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
First time coding at She Codes but feeling like I could do this forever! Matt makes it look friendly and fun 💫
She Codes is an excellent, interesting and funny workshop for all those who want to start in the programming world. It was an intensive weekend to learn code bases in a relaxed way. I strongly recommend it!!
I believe that people like Matt and organizations like SheCodes can really make a difference in this world, making it easier for people to learn about code and how fun it can be when you have the right teachers. My hope is that SheCodes can reach more and more women so that, in the future, this world might be more balanced and we can all leave our mark as equals. Also, it's amazing how much you can learn in one weekend, and how that weekend might have a big influence in your future.
This workshop is the best way to learn the basics of front end programming. It's perfect for those who have never programmed before. Everything is taught in a relaxed and fun way. Just keep in mind that being able to code is a useful skill and if I can do it you can too!
She Codes workshop was a great way to get in touch with the programming universe. It was hours of immersion and fun, in which I could see the results. There is still a lot to learn and exercise, of course, but I'm already happy with what I could absorb in those 12 hours. Thanks to the team and hope to see you soon!
Awesome experience!! "She Codes" was a great first contact with the programming world. Very intensive and fun! Highly recommend if you want to start coding.
I was very surprised with how much I was able to learn with only two classes! The workshop is very well constructed. Although it´s intensive, Matt can make it extremely easy to understand with his hands-on approach. Thank you! It was a really interesting and fun learning experience.
This class taught me how fun it was to actually learn the basics of coding techniques.
Such a great workshop ! I learned a ton in just two days!! It was my first encounter with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and thanks to the SheCodes crew who did a phenomenal job I grasped everything in no time. Who though coding could be so easy and fun ?!
I strongly recommend She Codes to Functional IT Consultants who want to learn to code and develop new skills. This is a great course for absolute beginners and it's actually a lot of fun!
This was an intensive yet super fun experience! It was hard to stay inside in a sunny weekend but totally worth it, you'll learn the basics of coding and feel super powerful and excited about the endless possibilities. It definitely sparked my interest in the coding world and I will invest more in this area for sure!
It was a fun and intense experience!
She Codes is a great way to introduce women into the tech world. After a very intense (but fun) two days’ workshop you will be able to code landing pages which appeared to be difficult at first with no effort. This was a very empowering experience because besides all the tech knowledge we gained, we were also able to exchange ideas and a good time with wonderful women. Totally recommended.
As an IT specialized translator seeking new opportunities in the field, I can tell that She Codes is a life changing experience. I've never imagined that learning code would be so fun. Besides, the chance to learn on a women-only environment feels even more empowering. Highly recommended.
Best course I've done in a long time. It turned out to be easier and more fun than I expected.
SheCodes was a way to test myself on whether or not I could code. I already knew some HTML, and had some very basic knowledge of CSS and Javascript. Attending the workshop cemented my decision to take on the challenge to learn programming languages and keep moving forward towards my goal to build a career in tech. It showed me that I can do it, and have fun doing it too! It was a great experience, and one I highly recommend.
Being an architect I had never coded before. I went to the workshop without knowing a thing on the subject. Matt is a very good teacher and he explains really well the basics and gives very useful advices. The exercises we make during the two days are very helpful to understand all the steps. It is so rewarding to see a project come to life, and to have control over the way it functions! I'm serously considering learning more coding in future. I recommend this workshop to all the women who are curious about it like I was!
I think She Codes is a great opportunity to begin your journey in programming. My interest in coding started when I realized that it could promote my professional growth and make a change in my career. Still, I never imagined how fun it could be and how it opens a whole new world of possibilities! Matt was very helpful and gave us the basic tools and the enthusiasm to learn more and never give up. This was my very first introduction to programming and I didn’t have previous knowledge. Now, I just want learn more and improve these skills further by taking online courses and new workshops. I recommend everyone to learn code and have fun!
She Codes workshop was a surprise from the moment I came across the Facebook post announcing the event. It took me out of my comfort zone and made me realize coding can be fun if the right people lead you to the proper mindset.It was the first time I learned HTML, CSS and Javascript.After this eye-opening experience I now feel capable of exploring by myself and I know I can count on the mentor's support. I want to thank Matt and all the team for this amazing workhop!
She Codes is a fun way to learn how to code. Really enjoyed my time there and improve my skills. Thank you very much Matt for the patience.
As a digital marketer I am convinced that (at least basic) coding skills are required to grow in your job. And in the future they will become even more relevant! I was personally always curious about coding, however it being still such a men domain (even in 2018!) might hinder many women from learning it. After this fun two days I can only recommend it to other interested girls: I love the creativity in it and the feeling you created something from scratch! Since I also love challenges, I am thinking of enrolling for the upcoming Shecodes Week!
She Codes has been the best way to learn coding. It gave me motivation to learn and explore more and more about HTML, CSS and functions in Javascript. I still have a lot to learn but now that I've already started the journey I want to keep on going. I totally recommend it!
Taking part in SheCodes 9.0 was one of the best experiences of my stay in Lisbon. I was always fascinated by technology but never thought that coding could be something I would enjoy - SheCodes definitely changed my opinion about that and I could develop a new passion. 💻 Many thanks to all of the SheCodes team for making coding so interesting and fun! You are amazing! ✨
Be prepared for a really fast pace and to enjoy yourself. Coding is super fun and even if you don't want to work as a developer you can still take a lot from the classes to use in your everyday tech activities.

"I would have never thought that I could learn so much within only three days while having that much fun! Meeting amazing other girls, coding, drinking some wine, enjoying the view on the market from SecondHome, and discussing the philosophical background about 'What it means to become a coder?' was what made this workshop special. Thanks, Matt, the volunteers, and all girls of SheCodes 7.0! "
Whether you work in the tech field or not, SheCodes is a must do for anyone who wants to understand how the web works and what coding actually means and entails. The content is presented in a hands on way and every exercise will get you a little bit more hooked on the topic. Not to mention that it was fun, would absolutely do it again!

She Codes creates a perfect bridge between tech, business and UX. The workshop taught us how to communicate with developers by coding and designing. From very first workshop, She Codes got me caught up with fun while coding and motivated to keep learning by introducing us to opportunities we gain with newly acquainted skills.Thanks to everyone that made this happen!
I have never imagine I could be able to code and understand the web in 3 weeks. Homework were so fun to do and it was definitely worth it to come every Saturday from Porto to learn and to have this unique experience of learning from the Matt and his team. What an energy!
I've tried online courses but never managed to keep myself motivated just to learn the basics. With SheCodes it was intense, practical and fun! Worth every minute.

I highly recommend She Codes for any woman who is interested in learning how to code. It was an amazing experience and it was a great opportunity to have my first steps in the world of coding while having fun and get to know a lot of interesting people in the process.
I've had a lot of fun learning about coding, design and product management! It's amazing what you can do even with a few lines of code - now I have a much, much better understanding about the endless possibilities that tech can give us.
SheCodes is a fast-paced, engaging workshop that is well worth your time. The SheCodes staff use scaffolding and peer-to-peer support to engage participants and have them creating functioning code within hours. As a beginner with zero coding experience, this immediate skill development was highly motivating. SheCodes has given me an excellent foundation for coding, and I recommend it without a moment’s hesitation!

I would recommend the course to any women who engage with tech--which is the large majority of us--but have never been invited to the table. Thanks She Codes team!

HELLO WORLD : She Codes is brilliant! I have been a teacher for a long time but wanted to change my career to become a coder and this course gave me the perfect introduction and motivation I needed to start. The teachers are amazing at what they do, all very experienced and successful in their areas but most importantly they make the experience so much fun! I loved being a part of such a small and dedicated team, replete of inspiring women and actually looked forward to the early Saturday mornings, even on little sleep ;)) You will learn a lot but also make friends and share laughs. Lisbon just got a little bit better with SheCodes. : ))
This was a fantastic workshop, offering an excellent opportunity to learn about the world of coding from broad concepts such as how the internet functions to understanding the details of how to populate, style and animate interactive websites.
